Instead of hitting the grill, I decided to so something different with our crop and came up with this: Squash & Onion Surprise. It was a real surprise that it tasted so good! This is part of the current seasonal crop for our area, so we are trying to come up with some dishes to whip up in a dash with ingredients that we have around the house.

Here is what I did…

Heat about 1-2 tablespoons real unsalted butter in the pan.

Toss in 2 medium squash and 6 small, white, sweet onions (chopped).

Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the top of the veggies (I use a fresh peppercorn medley with a little kick) - if you use salted butter, salt accordingly.

Sauté until onions start soaking in the butter or turning a yellow brown color.

Pour in about 1/4 cup water and place the lid on top to steam and soften the squash.

Once all the steam has evaporated, pour in 2 tablespoons of half and half (or other organic milk) and 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour.

Toss until creamy and top with flax seed to serve.

This made about 3-4 side dish servings. We served this along side a Dr. Praeger’s Tex Mex Veggie Burger (no bun) and steamed broccoli.

YUM. YUM.
